American Express Rewards and Savings

Company Rewards

American Express® Corporate Cards

Corporate Membership Rewards® Program

The Corporate Membership Rewards program‡ enables Companies to accumulate and consolidate rewards points. Under the program, points accumulate, without limits, in a central account. The Company decides which Cards to enrol and how to use the points. This allows you to:

Retain the Membership Rewards points even when an employee leaves the Company

Maintain control over the number of Cards and which employee(s) to enroll into the program

Employee Rewards

How Your Company Benefits From Employee Rewards

By providing the option to earn benefits, employees are encouraged to use their Cards, while your Company gets full visibility of business spend. This allows you to capture more comprehensive spending data, effectively monitor spending patterns, and reduce paperwork and processes associated with reimbursements.
